Farmers praise them, European consumers fear them, and Americans are growing uneasy about them -- transgenic crops have emerged as a contentious issue at the crossroads of health, agriculture, environment, and international trade.This timely book explores the risks and benefits of crops that are genetically modified for pest resistance, the urgency of establishing an appropriate regulatory framework for these products, and the importance of public understanding of the issues.The committee critically reviews federal policies toward transgenic products, the 1986 coordinated framework among the key federal agencies in the field, and rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency for regulation of plant pesticides.Case studies explore the commercial production and oversight of transgenic crops, including Bt crops, the most widely used transgenic pest-protected plants.Clearing up misconceptions and offering clear guidance, this book will be immediately important to anyone concerned about the transgenic issue.
